Post by: 70slooker on September 01, 2011, 04:12:18 am
were fat bars cast aluminum with no welds at all and a cast mark all the way around? reason i ask is i just got some and it boggles the mind to me
and if not can someone shed some light into what you think these could be from, to cast em i highly doubt its a backyard job right

Ah, no. Fleming & Aronson T-bars were originally made, as in fabricated, by Mike Libey. Then, once they caught on, Greg Aronson did the TIG-welding. At no time did F&A or FAT cast these T-bars.

The maroon late looker I did an interior on last year had a set of those. And totally unrelated, I noticed today that it uses Koni Opel shocks up front :)
